Executives around the league have figured that Wright would get something north of $125 million. Sources close to Wright have said that he wants seven years. This deal is basically what Evan Longoria and Ryan Zimmerman got. Longoria, however, is obviously in a different situation, in that he was four years from free agency when he got his deal. Zimmerman is not the player that Wright is.

Maybe this is just an opening salvo. A test to see just how married David Wright is to the idea of staying in New York. But it sure seems that $100 million is a lowball offer. Especially in an offseason when all signs point to teams getting more generous, not less. It makes one think that the Mets are more interested in trading Wright than keeping him.
